What? Your argument is men should be used to violence, so it is ok to hit boys, but women should not be used to violence, so we shouldn't hit girls?

We hit boys, so it is ok to hit boys, but we don't hit girls, so it isn't ok to hit girls?

That's so very, very wrong.

Men have to deal w/ violence or threat of violence. For all of history this has been the norm. Women are protected from violence.

Let me give you an example. If a man called the police and told them his wife is hitting him, the police would come and arrest the man.
